If the GOP is smart, they’ll CONNECT these dots and bludgeon the Dems with it. Unfortunately, their track record of doing the sensible thing is almost comically abysmal.
But with Medicare’s expiry date looming ever closer, and so many scammers using it as their own personal get-rich-quick scheme, maybe the time has finally come where the issue can be taken seriously.
Even the press has been raising the issue about when Medicare runs out.
Not that they’ve been connecting the dots to the left’s absolute refusal to prosecute fraud, which goes all the way up to trivial sentences handed out to those convicted and most recently, California ratifying a law that criminalizes Nick Shirley’s citizen journalist type reporting.
But as part of the Trump-era fraud crackdown, Dr. Oz has been hard at it, identifying the worst instances of fraud and cutting off their funding. This saves Medicaid money from being stolen and squandered. This in turn extends the already fragile financial lifespan of Medicare as it currently exists.

In this quick clip Oz not only connected the dots between fraud and the collapse of Medicare, but he laid the blame directly at the complicit acts of corruption that look the other way and refuse to treat these crimes with the seriousness that they deserve.
Why?
Because the fraudulent drains on Medicaid are smaller part of a larger problem where taxpayer money isn’t just misused and mismanaged, but misappropriated to further agendas to which lawful legislation has never given formal approval.
They’re rogue programs pushing rogue agendas with NO interest or accountability to the will of the people who elected their lawmakers.
Such programs need to be purged if we have any interest in keeping Medicare as we know it.
Meanwhile hard-left Dems make fantastical promises of ‘free’ health care for everyone, when we’re scrambling to pay for the programs we already have. and when you do the math for how quickly that plan bankrupts the country, be sure to include the ‘free’ health care of millions of illegal immigrants they would gladly let swarm over the border the next time they assume power.
